If the Licensor elects to participate as aforesaid, then the Licensor’s expenses will be reimbursed from any recovery in equal proportion with Licensee’s expenses.
Licensee acknowledges that no piracy of the Picture(s) in whole or in part occurring during the License Period will give rise to any rights on the parts of the Licensee, including but not limited to any right to terminate this or withhold any part of the amounts due hereunder.
8. OVERSPILL
Any exploitation of the Licensed Rights on the Picture(s)(s) by means of unencrypted satellite or non geo-blocked internet is forbidden and excluded.

Furthermore, any overspill into the Territory by any third parties shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, provided such overspill was incidental and due to the inherent capability of satellites to beam down signals which are not confined to territorial boundaries.
9. CENSORSHIP
Should the board of film censors in the Territory not consent exhibition of the Picture(s)(s) in the Territory, then Licensee shall do its best endeavors to obtain a favorable ruling by the board of film censors in the Territory.

In this event this Agreement shall be terminated and Licensor shall reimburse the Advance to Licensee, no other damages being payable to or claimable by Licensee whatsoever. Should Licensee notify Licensor of an unfavorable ruling by the board of film censors in the Territory later than three (3) months after Delivery of Materials, the Licensor shall request Licensee to file a suite form appeal to the unfavorable ruling, and Licensee shall be bound thereby without prejudice for the Licensor's right to damage, in the event Licensee delays said appeal. If no appeal is possible according to the laws and regulations in the Territory or if the unfavorable ruling is confirmed on appeal, then this Agreement shall be terminated and Licensor shall reimburse the Advance to Licensee, no other damages being payable to or claimable by Licensee whatsoever.
For the avoidance of doubt, if the cuts required on the Picture(s)(s) by the board of film censors in the Territory exceed 25% (twenty five percent) of the total length of the Picture(s)(s), Licensee may regard the showing of the Picture(s)(s) in the Territory as impossible due censorship.
